CKC Digital Art Lab

The CKC Digital Art Lab (Zoetermeer) is a place where young people, mostly teenagers, can experiment with new media and technology. The Lab stimulates innovative ideas and facilitates initiatives from her community of peer teachers. As manager of the Digital Art Lab, I run the place and coach the teens to become Peer Professionals: entrepreneurs in art and culture.
